andlt;Bandgt;Iand#8217;LL BE WATCHING YOUandlt;/Bandgt; andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;Walking home on a dark night, you hear footsteps coming up behind you. As they get closer, your heart pounds harder. Who is closing in with dangerous intentand#8212;a total stranger? Or someone you know and trust? The answer is as simple as turning around, but donand#8217;t look behind you . . . andlt;Iandgt;runandlt;/Iandgt;. Ann Rule, who shared her own nerve-jangling account of unknowingly befriending sadistic sociopath Ted Bundy in andlt;Iandgt;The Stranger Beside Me, andlt;/Iandgt;chronicles other fateful encounters with the hidden predators among us in this riveting collection, fifteenth in the bestselling series drawn from her personal files. First in line is a stunning case that spanned thirty years and took a determined detective to four statesand#8212;ending, finally, in Alaskaand#8212;where he unraveled not one but two murders. A second case appears to begin and end with the hunt for the Green River Killer, focusing on a Washington State man who was once cleared as a suspect in that deadly chain of homicides. But the millionaire property owner believed he had successfully buried his own murderous past and the awful truth behind his young wifeand#8217;s disappearance. She vanished soon after she left for a day at the Seattle Worldand#8217;s Fair, and her three small children grew up believing their mother had abandoned them. But one amazing witness remainedand#8212;the missing womanand#8217;s best friend, who heard her last words in a frantic phone calland#8212;and#8220;Heand#8217;s coming!and#8221;and#8212;before the line went dead. Only since Robert Hansenand#8217;s suicide has the monster within been revealed. In another true story, a petite woman went to a tavern, looking only for conversation and fun. Instead, she met violent death in the form of a seven-foot man who had seemed shy and harmless. Youand#8217;ll feel a chill as you uncover these and numerous other cases of unfortunate victims who made one tragic mistake: trusting the wrong personand#8212;even someone theyand#8217;d known intimately, or andlt;Iandgt;thought andlt;/Iandgt;they knew.
